GeOrgia's Biggest Snake 70 Date.

Some five or six years since a monster snake
was seen in Rawls Pond, and the gentleman
who saw IL related his adventure 10 a number
OF incredulous friends. IL has remained "a
this day matter Of jest among the acquaint-
ances of the frightened gentleman the reported
proportions of the huge reptile. Among the
number who heard the statement with a men,
tai reservation was DIR. q. Z. Hartwell, who
owns large plantation embracing the larger
part OF the swamp surrounding the pond.
The Doctor is now, however, firm believer.
but it required seeing 10 convince him. One
day last week he was out in the field with his
farm hands and having occasion 10 20 into the
edge OF the swamp encountered a snake, the
sight Of which almost took his breath away.
The reptile showed fight and the Doctor called

snake be fed. The others were called, and
with great poles the brigade surrounded his
snakoship, aud made an attack that resulted
IA its death. DR. Hartwell says that he
thought he had seen big snakes before, but all
native snakes were midgets by this monster,
which was larger than any he ever saw in any
circus museum. 1t proved 10 be of a variety OF
water snake, about 10 feet long, nearly as large
as an ordinary mans thigh in circumference

Kissed Us All Aronnd.
~ American Ifaaasine. /

Some little time ago young lady, who had
been teaching class Of half grown girls in the
Sunday-schOol of DIR. BIS church, Brooklyn,
was called away from the city, rendering il
necessary TO fill her place.
The Superintendent after looking over his
available material for teachers, decided to re-
quest one of the young gentlemen of the con-
gregation to take the class.
1t so happened that the young man upon
whom fell the Superintendent's choice was ex-
ceedlngiy bashtul-so much so, in fact, that he
insisted upon the Superintendents going and
presenting him to the class. Accordingly the
two gentlemen appeared on the little platform,
and the superintendent began: Young ladies,
wish to introduce to you Mr. O., who viii in
future be your teacher. / would like TO have
you tell him what your former teacher did, so
that he can go right on in the same way"
Immediately demure miss of II years arose
and said: "The first thing our teacher always
did was to kiss Us all around"

THE GREAT TORTILIrA HINES.

lFfoDl The Ne,0 York Tribune Nay % 1871
Ex-Governor Rodman M. Price, of New
Jersey, the California pioneer for whom the
Legislature Of that State recently appropriated
$4,000 to erect a monument in recognition OF
his public services, is in town. As Lieuten-
ant of the Navy, Governor Price took posses
sion Of California in the name of the United
States. He has long been identified with the
interests Of the Pacific slope. Asked his opin-
ion Of the TOrtilita Mines in Arizona, whose
Offices are at 81 Broadway, this city, and whose
shares are about TO be listed, and are attracting
much attention, Governor Price said: I" am
familiar with the country in which the Tor
tliitas are located. They are in the central and
best part of the territory and in an enormously
rich mining district. The company has twelve
mines and owns territory three miles long,
with over 250 acres of rich ore deposits. The
Iortilitas have already produced over $15OOOO
In bullion. I expect TO see a second Virginia
City established there and another Comstock in
the results Of the mines The value Of the
Tortilitas is demonstrated By the concentration
OF the ore below the water level in the two
mines which are now being worked, which is
the absolute test of permanency. They have
vein Of ore already exposed 42I feet wide
that assays $50 per ton, and the supply is mex
haustible. Am acquainted with the manage
ment2 Yes. 1t is composed Of reliable, com
petent business men oS the highest standing.
The President is MF. Joseph L. Rean, Presi-
dent Of the American Agricultural and Dairy
Association, with whom was for many months
identified in the passage of the National Oleo-
margarine Law, and the Vice President is Gent
J. Floyd King, Of Louisiana, a distinguished
officer in the late war, and for nine sessions
eight years, a Menber Of Congress. The
superintendent Of the mines, D. T. Elmore,
upon whom much devolyes, is indorsed by
Senator Sawyer Of Wisconsin, as one Of the
best mining men in America, and of absolute
integrity and capacity. There is a great future
for this enterprise, in my Judgment. regard
the Tortilitas as one Of the best properties ever
placed on the New York market, and expert
enced operators and mining men coincide in
my opinion; I foresee great activity in mining
stocks this Summer"

Education Draws at Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 13.-Except at the national
conventions of the two principal political par
ties, no audience was ever assembled in Chi
cago Exposition building equalling in number
and brilliancy that gathered there last night at
the opening of the session of the National
Educational association. 1t is estimated that
10000 people, several thousand more than
could find seats, were crowded into the great
hall. The bulk of the marvellous throng
was composed of active educational
workers. There were three women to every
man, and the audience seemed a sea of bon
nets and light dresses. The great gallery was
as completely crowded as the floor. Long be-
fore proceedings were under way the aisles
filled with standing men and women clear up
to the platform, while the stairway and rOs-
trum were crowded from eight O'Clock
until nine. The programme was
Thomas concert. After the music was
over, the stage was re-arranged and the nota-
picking their way through innumerable
young ladies seated on the steps. Among
those VIII r. ached the platform were officers
of the association, members of the national
council, Mayor Roche and members of the
Chicago board of education. President VIM
without further preliminary, Mayor Roche
began hearty address of welcome. Then
came President ScOrey, Of the Chicago board
of education, Superintendent Rowland, of the
Chicago city schools, and County Superinten-
dent Lane, all welcoming delegates TO the con-
vention. President Sheldon responded
on behalf of the association. He
closed by introducing the principal
speaker of the evening, Richard Edwards
State Superintendent of Education. The sub
icCt Of Mr.. Edwards was, 1.-The Problem of To
day" He was listened TO with close attention
and, notwithstanding the neat Of the evening,
held majority of the audience until the late
hour at which the session ended,

Ten Dollars Each .

viii Mudd. a nephew Of Judge Devine, was
attacked and beaten ut the chile stand on " ILL
tary plaza last night by one win Haynes. for
alleged remarks about lady friend of
Haynes, which Mudd says he did not make
and can prove he didn't. A fight ensued be-
tween the boys and both were arrested. The
recorder made no distinction between them
today as to the merits of the case, but fined
them so each.
Col. Robbins and Capt. MacNamara were
Witnesses in the recorders court this morning
and gave their testimony as to the fight be-
tween Milton Everett, an office clerk in the
Union ticket Office floor of the kampmRnn
building. and an eX-livery stable man named
c. b. Wilson, who came in the office yesterday
afternoon apparently drunk and asked for
Mr.. HOrmer. Wilson grew abusive to both
Everett and MacNamara and dared them to
fight. Everett accommodated him, after Will
son drew chair to strike him, by bringing
down picture frame on his head until he
cried murder. This collected quite a crowd,
and the murdered man was arrested. Everett
was arrested some time afterward, and both
were fined $40 by the recorder this morning.
though the evidence was decidedly In Ever
ptt'g favor.

Non Delivery of Letters.

A thoroughly responsible gentleman Of
this city calls the attention of the LIGHT
to the unsatisfactory nature of the
special delivery mail service in this city.
Within very short period three letters
addressed to himself have not been de-
livered for several hours after they were
stamped received" at this office, and in
every instance they were received with.
in the hours of delivery required by the
service regulations. The last letter thus
delayed was marked received in the Of
flee at 6 p. M, and was not delivered IN
til after a. M, on the following day.
Other complaints of similar character
are made, and it would be well for the
special messenger to receive come spe-
cial instructions in this matter. The
gentleman who complains most bitterly
of this lack of prompt service lives with
In three blocks of Alamo plaza. Paying
ten cents for a special delivery and get
ting it In this shape does not satisfy the
average citizen.

That Reservoir Hitch,

The LIGHT Is informed, on what should
be unimpeschable testimony, that there
was an error in the statement made be-
fore the council as to the Withdrawing Of
water from the reservoir for private
lands in the direction of the Salado.
The overflow complained of arises from
the sepeing of water through the reser-
voir embanknent, and from the period
ical flushing of the reservoir in order to
flood of the scum which in hot weather
accumulates on the surface Of the water.
The water following the depTessions of
the land found its way to the Austin
road, and was complained of as making
that road boggy. To remedy this de-
feet a pipe was put in under the road
way to act as a tile-d drain. This pipe
does not connect with the reservoir and
is only used as a drain to leave the road
In condition. The low stage of water in
the bitches last Sunday was caused by
the breaking of a cog in the lower
pumping house, which necessitated the
use of the upper pumps to such an eX-
tent as to draw directly from the river
sufficient amount of water to cut off the
usual ditch supply. This statement will
no doubt be verified by the committee
Of inquiry appointed by the council.

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY
Planned but Evidently Foiled-Our Sher-
If Called Upon for Aid-Trains
Guarded Now

lnformatiO' has developed that another big
train robbery was in contemplation on one OF
the lines OF railway leading out of the city
night before last, and the officers of both road 8
in this city got wind Of IL and were very much
frightened. Both the Sunset and |. \ e.. n.
railway officers asked the sheriff OF this cOun-
~ to furnish au escort OF armed men for them
for their trains that night and Sheriff Lewis
promptly responded. Constable Ed. Stevens
Deputy L. 5. MarShas Tom Bales and Jim
Ihackcr, D. putty Sheriff Jim Applewhtc were
detailed to leave on the Sunset train To guard
the express car, and did so, going as far as
SChu.enherg and returning ON the train they
met at that place.
Another party consisting of Sheriff Lewis
City,Marshal Shardoin, Deputy u. 5. Marshals
Bel and Thompson, Deputy sheriff Alex
andCr and Deputy Constable Charles
stevens, left at o'clock D. m.
on the International road. travelling as
far as BudH in the passenger couch and re-
turning on the down train in the baggage car
No robbers were met, by either party, though
Il { supposed the attack was intended to be
made after uighttall on one of these two lines
OF railway. Just why tho rumOr went abroad
of the intended robbery Is not known, as no
extra large sums of money were carried by
either the Pacific or Wells, Fargo s. Co.'S eN-
press companies on that night. The railways
have concluded not TO depend on these wild
rumOrs any more, but to take precautions in
time. For this purpose II Is told the LIGHT
reporter that they have sworn I'm number of
employees as officers to act as guards on every
train in Texas hereafter and these guards are
now doing duty ON trains.

uBreaking Down and Building Up.

When a man breaks down in the matter of
physical strength, the question of its recovery
depends in a great measure upon the length of
time he allows to elapse before adopt ng medi-
cinal means to recuperate it. A tonic, which
gives a speedy and powerful impulse to the
processes of digestion and assimilation, is the
resort TO IL promptly. The most reliable de-
pendence of the feeble, the aged and the ner-
vous, has ever proved to be HOstetter's StOm-
ach Bitters, an invigOrant of national reputa-
ton and proven worth, commended by medi-
cal men of distinction, not only for building
up broken-dOwn system, but as remedy for
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, fever
and ague, and kidney trouble. While not
claimed to be panacea, it is most useful
and comprehensive household remedy. 1t is,
moreover, eminently safe as well as effective
